(WK1) Introduction to GIS Instructors: Seth Hackman & Paul Caris Room: Hatteras 4, Level 4 This workshop is designed for those who are brand new to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The workshop starts with the basics, such as defining GIS and discussing the hardware/software issues that must be considered. The related technologies of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Remote Sensing are also dealt with briefly, so students have an idea of the breadth of the Geographic Information field as a whole. The fundamentals of geographic data are covered with an emphasis on understanding the peculiarities of geospatial data in general as well as some of the specific types and formats of existing data sources. Students also will be introduced to some basic analysis techniques and will be encouraged to consider some more advanced analytical methods. During the day-long workshop, the instructors will endeavor to introduce important issues and resources (data, internet sites, organizations, etc.) that geospatial professionals need to be aware of in order to advance in this exciting field.

Topics Covered:

• What is GIS, and what are the common hardware and software components

• GIS software companies and software packages • Geographic scale and coordinate reference systems • Data collection and editing • Data storage and metadata • GIS display and data sharing • GIS organizational issues

Intended Audience: No prior experience with GIS is assumed. (WK2) Introduction to GPS Instructor: Mike Popoloski Room: Hatteras 3, Level 4 GPS is a widely used technology for collecting locational data for a GIS. Unfortunately many misconceptions exist about the technology and substantial errors are introduced into datasets as a result. This introductory workshop focuses on basic concepts of the NAVSTAR GPS, GPS receivers, accuracy variables, differential GPS, GIS related applications & project planning. Participants get hands-on experience through a basic GPS data collection exercise and creation of several GIS layers. By the end of the workshop participants will have experienced the GPS workflow and been made aware of the pitfalls in GPS data collection. Everyone is encouraged to being their own Trimble GIS-grade instrument if available.

Intended Audience: Anyone who is interested in learning about this technology should attend.

This workshop will cover ArcGIS's integration with AutoCAD including the ability to create ArcGIS features from within AutoCAD and to share ArcGIS data with AutoCAD users. This application allows AutoCAD users to interact with the ArcGIS system through the cloud, within the enterprise and through local file sharing. You will learn how to create GIS-ready CAD files with ArcGIS for AutoCAD, and how improvements to reading and writing AutoCAD files in ArcGIS allows the AutoCAD .DWG file to be a useful exchange format between ArcGIS and AutoCAD. Come learn how to publish your ArcGIS data for use by AutoCAD users and how GIS submittal standards can be satisfied by contractors using just plain AutoCAD and the free ArcGIS for AutoCAD plug-in. Intended Audience: Existing AutoCAD and GIS users who are looking to streamline information sharing between the CAD and GIS groups.

(WK5) Introduction to Distributed GIS Services Instructor: John Reiser Room: Biscayne C, Level 4 Distributed GIS relies on remote services to render maps, convert data formats, or perform geoprocessing tasks. The workshop will begin with an overview of the current options available to those looking to use and implement distributed GIS. We will then explore freely available web services from a multitude of providers. Live demonstrations of the services will be incorporated. A discussion of implementing distributed GIS within your organization will conclude the workshop. Intended Audience: This workshop is designed for those that are looking for an introduction to Internet-enabled GIS and Cloud-based GIS services.

(WK6) LiDAR: Mid-Atlantic Availability, Useful Applications, and Hands-On Practice Instructor: Mike Umansky Room: Hatteras 1, Level 4 While LiDAR is a proven, workhorse technology, many users have little practical experience with it. This is unfortunate because LiDAR is widely available in the Mid-Atlantic Region, can be incredibly useful, and is relatively simple to work with. This session's focus is to introduce basic LiDAR concepts and terminology, review the availability of LiDAR data in the Mid-Atlantic region, and offer hands-on training in a variety of software packages including Quick Terrain Modeler, Google Earth, and ArcGIS. Topics Covered:

an Enterprise Solution. The transition of the primarily paper-centric data collection procedures to a web-based, geospatially enhanced application called Environmental and Consumer Health Operations (ECHO) was accomplished through a coordinated and cooperative effort between Bergen County and Civil Solutions, a division of ARH. One of the project’s primary objectives was to bring the Department’s two (2) essentially independently operating sections together into a single consistent case management system. The Bergen County ECHO application achieved this goal and supports internal operations as well as mobile, disconnected use. It evolved through a series of discovery meetings, work flow analyses, dissection of existing methodologies and systems, user input and inspection form replication.

However, due to the size of the image library (one-terrabyte), the County found this solution difficult to disseminate to local agencies. In 2009, Burlington began migrating to a new web-based, self-hosted version of Pictometry OnLine (POL). This presentation will discuss some of the steps Burlington County had to take and problems encountered in setting up the self-hosted version of POL.

Cross County Connection Transportation Management Association 4A Eves Drive, Suite 114 Marlton, NJ 08053 856-596-8228 John Hainesworth - hainsworth@driveless.com Senior Transportation Specialist Saiful Alam - alam@driveless.com GIS Specialist CCCTMA/Google Interactive Transportation Map Cross County Connection Transportation Management Association developed an open source map that displays public transportation and bicycle routes in Southern New Jersey. Leveraging Google Maps API with transportation data in their GIS catalogue provided the opportunity to host a tremendous amount of spatial data on a single web application. The KML data used in the map was derived from several GIS shapefiles while preserving all attribute data. Links to PDF versions of bus schedules, timetables, and bicycle tour maps are all provided so that end-users can search and print the appropriate information. Panoramic photos and videos were also collected in the field along with GPS data to help create a sense of place at nearest bus stop or bicycle route. The embedded Google Search bar allows for quick address searching to pinpoint your destination or find a place of interest along your route. By request, this concept was taken further with the development of project-specific API maps to help provide detailed information on long-term road construction such

as the Marlton Circle Elimination, I-295 Rehabilitation, and Walt Whitman Bridge Re-Decking projects. Fieldwork was conducted to gather photos and videos of the new traffic patterns in these construction zones. Detour videos were then edited and referenced to KML layers on the map to show commuters what conditions to expect on the roadway. The addition of real-time traffic data and searchable driving directions helps travelers to plan alternate routes around the construction and ultimately reduce congestion.

Rutgers University National Center for Neighborhood and Brownfields Redevelopment 33 Livingston Ave New Brunswick, NJ 08901 732-932-4101 Jennifer Rovito - jrovito@rci.rugters.edu Lead Safe Housing Registry Background: The Lead Safe Housing Registry is a web-based mapping application that identifies the lead-based paint condition of tenant housing in New Jersey as collected by state agencies/departments. Purpose: To provide public health officials, rental agents and the general public with a centralized database of tenant housing lead-based paint conditions, through a user friendly web-based map. Methods: Working with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, data was collected from six state agencies containing information such as street addresses and current lead status. The data required standardization and geocoding. A parcel match using ArcMap was completed on as much of the data as possible and a web-based geocoding tool was used for the remaining addresses. Results: About 30,000 buildings representing one million tenant units have been mapped to date. These buildings can be queried using either a known address or city. Challenges encountered included non-standardized misspelled and/or incomplete address data that made the geocoding and map display formatting process very time consuming. Discussion: The Lead Safe Housing Registry website is currently available to the public. Data will be updated on a quarterly basis and the database is being expanded to include additional data, more advanced querying, and better database management.

The task force created four subgroups to focus on objectives for research, categories and definitions, attributes and methodology. Initially, research was conducted on methodologies used by several federal and state agencies, universities and non-profit organizations throughout the nation that collect preserved lands/open space data. The results revealed a variety of approaches to inventory creation and mapping. Based on the research, categories were created, incorporating thorough and structured language, to define types of preserved lands and open space, and the conditions for their inclusion in the dataset. A database schema of core and optional attributes was then developed to provide information about ownership, management, protection status and other relevant characteristics. The schema is the foundation for creation of a methodology, which will be based upon leveraging available data, including parcels data for base maps, and technical resources. The presentation will provide details regarding the work of the subgroups.

The DEP data set utilized for the analysis represents a detailed mapping of the land use and land cover as depicted in high resolution aerial photography that was initially acquired in 1986 and most recently updated in 2007. The imagery was then classified and mapped providing a window into how the Garden State has developed over the past several decades and the subsequent consequences to its land base. It views land development patterns from several different angles providing a “report card” on urban growth and open space loss.
